Katsuye Mahou Shoujo, Anime, Byakuya, Hibana


Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shiteita. is unquestionably a kind of collection the place the seiyuu carry a heavy burden. This story is, if we’re being sincere, very foolish. It’s definitely not based mostly in any actuality, not even in context. The visuals are undeniably lovely, however the forged must carry this materials to life and provides it some traction. Fortuitously, it’s in excellent fingers there, as Miki Shinichirou and Midorikawa Hikaru promote out because the “angels” and Ise Mariya drops F-bombs all over the place.

Notably lacking from that paragraph are Ono Yuuki and Nakahara Mai, who play Mira and Byakuya respectively. They’re each good actors (Nakahara is a selected favourite of mine), however they don’t actually stand out. And neither do their characters, which is the entire level. Byakuya is cute and Mira’s navel-gazing is humorous, however that’s about it. Their love affair is the center of the story, however the reality is that it – they usually – are each fairly boring. Which is why the arrival of F*ck Woman and Chicken got here simply in time.

Talking of Hibana and amorous affairs, the revelation that she and Byakuya are the identical age (they had been in elementary faculty) is sort of surprising. I used to be beneath the impression that Byakuya, regardless of her look, was in her early 20s (I feel somebody within the feedback advised me that). Her being 15 (or so) confirms Cat-man’s standing as a scumbag, not that it wanted a lot affirmation. Nevertheless it additionally sheds a special mild on Mira’s intentions towards Byakuya. Regardless of how previous he’s in his alien (is he even an alien?) world, he is rattling positive too previous to be a 15-year-old’s lover.

And it appears very clear that these two Are in love. Chicken-man pointing that out could have despatched Byakuya and Mira right into a tizzy, however that was apparent as a result of it’s true. As for the entire good vs. evil group factor, it looks as if we’re not even going via the motions anymore. Mira and Byakuya are enjoying Reversi at her home whereas Cat and Chicken are preventing about—nicely, the whole lot, and Hibana is gnawing on her “pal’s” head.

The primary supply of leisure is certainly these two doing it as cats and birds (Pussy accusing Birdy of being a loli was the spotlight). They usually even have human varieties, perhaps their true varieties (in heaven?). Which might imply that they selected that acquainted kind? That, and Hibana’s downright hilarious tackle the tsundere trope. Give her credit score, she embraces the label wholeheartedly – these wrestling strikes and MMA assaults and shark bites complement her verbal abuse superbly. If she and Byakuya are certainly buddies, Hibana goes to wish a whole lot of steerage on easy methods to categorical affection.
